- ### Discover Skills First
6
-
7
- **Before starting any task**, check for relevant skills:
8
- 1. Use your native skill tool to list available skills.
9
- 2. Review skill descriptions/frontmatter to identify relevant ones.
10
-
11
- ### Skill Loading Rules
12
-
13
- - Load skills **JIT only** — never preload to "understand" them.
14
- - Follow skill instructions **exactly as written** — no skimming, no shortcuts.
15
- - If a skill has a checklist, create a todo for **each item** — no mental tracking.
16
- - Simple tasks benefit from skills as much as complex ones.
17
-
18
- **Skill priority (highest to lowest):** Project → Personal
19
-
20
- ### Using Tools with Skills
21
-
22
- 1. **Native skill tool** — load skills via your platform's native skill tool.
23
- 2. **Symlinked skills** — Superpowers skills are symlinked into your platform's skills directory.
24
- 3. **Fallback** — if a skill isn't found via the native tool, run `superpowers-agent find-skills [PATTERN]`.
25
- 4. **Tool equivalence** — when a skill references a tool you don't have, substitute your equivalent.
26
-
27
- ### Why Skills Matter
28
-
29
- Skills encode proven techniques that prevent mistakes. Not using them means repeating solved problems and missing edge cases.

17
- Only read the full skill content when you're ready to execute it:
18
- 1. **Load fully** when about to use (not before)
19
- 2. **Follow exactly** as written
20
- 3. **Announce:** "Using Skill: {Name} to {Purpose}"
16
+ - Load skills **JIT only** never preload to "understand" them.
17
+ - Follow skill instructions **exactly as written** no skimming, no shortcuts.
18
+ - If a skill has a checklist, create a todo for **each item** no mental tracking.
19
+ - Simple tasks benefit from skills as much as complex ones.

- ### Using Tools with Skills
23
-
24
- **1. Native Skill Tool:** Use your platform's native skill tool for loading skills.
25
-
26
- **2. Symlinked Skills:** Superpowers skills are symlinked to your platform's skills directory.
27
-
28
- **3. Fallback:** If a skill isn't found via native tool, use `superpowers-agent find-skills [PATTERN]`
29
-
30
- **4. Tool Equivalence:** When skills reference tools you don't have, use your equivalent:
31
- - File operations -> your Read/Write/Edit tools
32
- - Terminal commands -> your Bash/Shell tool
33
- - Search operations -> your Grep/Glob/Search tools
34
- - Task management -> your TodoWrite/TodoRead tools
35
- - Subagent dispatch -> your Task/Agent tool (or execute the work yourself)
36
- - Web fetching -> your WebFetch/Fetch tool

25
+ 1. **Native skill tool** load skills via your platform's native skill tool.
26
+ 2. **Symlinked skills** — Superpowers skills are symlinked into your platform's skills directory.
27
+ 3. **Fallback** if a skill isn't found via the native tool, inspect the configured skill directories and read its `SKILL.md` directly.
28
+ 4. **Tool equivalence** — when a skill references a tool you don't have, substitute your equivalent.

+ Periodically, e.g. once per day check the version of superpowers-agent:
41
+ 1. **CURRENT_VERSION** — run a `superpowers-agent` command and extract `X.Y.Z` from the `^^SAV:X.Y.Z^^` string in its output.
42
+ 2. **NPM_LATEST_VERSION** — run `npm view @complexthings/superpowers-agent version`.
43
+ 3. Compare by **semver precedence, not string comparison** (e.g. `9.10.0` > `9.9.0`). If NPM_LATEST_VERSION is newer, tell the user — do not run these yourself:
44

45
+ > ```sh
46
+ > npm install -g @complexthings/superpowers-agent
47
+ > superpowers-agent update && superpowers-agent bootstrap && superpowers-agent setup-skills
